a few years ago at the auction of the
property Of Christopher Curtis, who died in
Atlanta, an old Bible was Sought oy cit.
izen for 81. He put the book away and
thought no more about it until the other
day, when E. w. Curtis, of Providence, R.
l., called on him, and said that the Bible
had belonged to him, and had been loaned
to his brother Christopher. The buyer at
once gave up the book, and was surprised
when Mr.. Curtis offered him S25, saying
that the Bible was one of the famous
"Breeches Edition." but he refused to take
more than the dollar that he had paid.

"Do invalids usually dread making sea
voyage, DOCTOR
They have no fear OF the VOYAGE, but
the dread which surrounds the thought of
a possible death at sea completely I'M
nerves them. Suggest a trip abroad and
they will gladly attempt it, for they have
the satisfaction of knowing that in case
they die the remains will be returned to
their friends for decent burial \ burial
IT sea, however, haunts them from the
time II voyage is suggested until il is over.
Now that the matter Of speed and comfort
is the question of the hour with steamship
companies. they should give some thought
To the subject of hurialS AZ sea. 1t is an
important question. Originating when
the only means Of transatlantic travel
were sailing vessels, there is no doubt but
that il was necessary to ConsiIu corpse
TO the deep, but in these days of rapid
transit and floating palaces it would be an
easy matter to preserve a body for several
days. In the olden time lack of facilities
for properly caring for and preserving q
body, coupled with the superstitious dread
of the sailors, rendered it necessary tC
heave it over the rail, hut now these req
sons do not exist. Every steamer shOul
have a surgeon capable of cmhalming
corpse anC refrigerating compartment to
preserve a body for an entire trip. The
terrible dread of being buried at sea has
deferred many from seeking relief in
warmer cline than this, and they have re-
mained here and died rather than risk
such an end What we need are facilities
and apparatus which will tend TO dispel
this dread, and which will tend to add to
the peace of mind Of persons taking sea
voyage in the hope of restoring health. -

Senator Logan was very fond of play
ing with the children" said lady who
has for many years been a frequenter Of
the Logan household. The senator used
to get SO absorbed when he was playing
with the little ones that he cared nothing
for what was going on around him. lie
was very fond of his grandson, Lieut..
fuckers boy, about 6 years old l re-
member that just one day before he was
taken i'll he was playing marbles in a
room with the boy. The game was pretty
evenly matched and the general was alb
sorbed in it. While the game was at its
height the servant brought in card to
him. 1t was that of a prominent senator.
The general, who was down on his knees
Mt the time, and about 10 shoot his marble,
took the card, looked at it moment, then
said to the servant:
"'Tell the senator to take a seat and I'll
be there in five minutes. / want to finish
this game for the boy is ahead of me

THE Police BILL.

The REPUBLIC and ali good citizens are
in favor OF every legitimate and genuine re
form in municipal affairs. We recognize
that there is need of reform in certain de-
partments of our city government and our
voice will always be found in favor Of every
and any measure which, in our Judgment,
leads in that direction. Ii is an open ques-
ton whether the new police bill will meet
the requirements or wants of our people. 1t
has some defects and certain provisions
which make il undesirable in our city.
Therefore. every voter should carefully
sean its provisions before making up his
mind how 10 vote. Many of our people
have probably concluded that the bill is all
right, simply because they favor reform,
and this the bill promises; but We have only
found ttr0 men who admit that they have
carefully examined the bill in all its bear
ings. We ask careful, unprejudiced ex-
animation into the merits of the law, and
then let the voter cast his ballot for or
against, As to him seems best.

The Brightness of Jupiter.

A member Of the Royal Society of Tas-
mania finds that, as compared with Mars,
Jupiter's surface brightness is twenty
two times as great rs it ought TO be if all
its light is reflected sunshine. and as COM
pared with the moon about thirteen times.
That the brilliancy was remarkable has
long been known, and the theory of this
observer, that the giant planet of our sys-
tenn has not yet so cooled as to cease to be
self luminous, is by no means new A
more generally accepted explanation, how
ever, is that Jupiter is covered with a
highly reflective material, which absorbs
much less solar light than Mars and the
moon.-Boston Budget.
